Climbing protection is any of a variety of devices employed to reduce risk and protect others while climbingrock and ice. It includes such items as nylon webbing and metal nuts, cams, bolts, and pitons.
Different forms of climbing draw on varying forms of protection and the systems that are created from its elements.
Types of climbing
There are a number of ways to "protect" a climb, varying according to the type of climbing:
Lead climbing
A lead climber places protection (temporary or permanent anchors) in the rock, snow, or ice establishing a climbing route. The rope is clipped through carabiners (often joined by a short length of webbing into a pair known as a quickdraw) which are in turn connected to the protection. The belayer pays out rope during the ascent, and manually arrests the climber's fall by locking the rope, typically with some form of belay device.
Aid climbing
Aid climbing involves standing on or pulling oneself up via devices attached to fixed or placed protection is used to make upward progress. In contrast to free climbing protection, which can sustain the force of sometimes long falls, some aid protection is only designed to hold one's body weight.
Climbing!, also known as Mountain Climbing!, is the official debut studio album by American blues rock band Mountain. Released on March 7, 1970, the album featured the 'classic' Mountain lineup of Leslie West (guitar, vocals), Felix Pappalardi (bass, piano) and Corky Laing (drums, percussion), and followed the West solo album Mountain featuring Pappalardi and drummer Norman Smart, released in 1969 and often credited to the band. Produced by Pappalardi, the album reached number 17 on the American Billboard 200 albums chart and featured the band's best-known song, "Mississippi Queen". An early rendition of "For Yasgur's Farm" was actually performed at the Woodstock Festival in August 1969 with a different title. It was subsequently recorded and retitled for the album.
Climbing is the activity of using one's hands, feet, or any other part of the body to ascend a steep object. It is done recreationally, competitively, in trades that rely on it, and in emergency rescue and military operations. It is done indoors and out, on natural and manmade structures.
Types
Climbing activities include:
Bouldering: Ascending boulders or small outcrops, often with climbing shoes and a chalk bag or bucket. Usually, instead of using a safety rope from above, injury is avoided using a crash pad and a human spotter (to direct a falling climber on to the pad. They can also give beta, or advice)
Buildering: Ascending the exterior skeletons of buildings, typically without protective equipment.
Chalk climbing: Ascending chalk cliffs uses some of the same techniques as ice climbing .
Competition Climbing: A formal, competitive sport of recent origins, normally practiced on artificial walls that resemble natural rock formations. The International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) is the official organization governing competition climbing worldwide and is recognized by the IOC and GAISF and is a member of the International World Games Association (IWGA). Competition Climbing has three major disciplines: Lead, Bouldering and Speed.
Protection is the second album by Bristol-based trip hop collective Massive Attack. Released in 1994, It was last to feature Tricky as a member of the group, after going solo with his album Maxinquaye in 1995.
Sound
Protection was featured in the top ten of Rolling Stone magazine's 'Coolest Albums of All Time List', calling it "great music for when you're driving around a city at 4 am," due to the 'chill out' nature of the album. Like most of Massive Attack's albums, the music often defies categorisation, ranging from R&B (title track and "Sly") to hip hop/rap ("Karmacoma" and "Eurochild") to reggae-tinged synthpop ("Spying Glass") to classical-influenced electronica instrumentals ("Weather Storm" and "Heat Miser"). The album follows Blue Lines structurally, to the point that the font used on the cover of the album is the same, Helvetica Heavy Italic.
Paul Evans of Rolling Stone gave the album three and a half of five stars calling it "Cool, sexy stuff, it smoothly fuses dub, club and soul, grounding its grace in sampled hip-hop beats."
David Geffen approached Jon Landau, Springsteen’s manager and producer, and asked if Springsteen would be interested in writing a song for Summer. Summer had just recently signed for Geffen Records. Springsteen agreed to write a song and, while working with Gary U.S. Bonds, he gathered the E Street Band to record a demo. However, when Landau heard the result, "Cover Me", he persuaded Springsteen to keep that song for himself. Springsteen then wrote "Protection". He recorded a version with the E Street Band at The Hit Factory during January or February 1982 and registered it at the United States Copyright Office on March 8, 1982. In the same month Springsteen and Roy Bittan also travelled to Los Angeles to help record Summer’s version of the song. Bruce and Donna allegedly also recorded a duet vocal version at her sessions but it remains unreleased. On the released version by Summer, Springsteen played the guitar solo and can clearly be heard on fadeout vocals. Springsteen’s own version of the song was seriously considered for Born In The USA, however it remains unreleased. He has never performed the song in concert, although it was rehearsed in early 1988 for the upcoming Tunnel Of Love Express Tour.
Trad Climbing on Epinephrine - Pitch 9, my favorite pitch
The combination of quality climbing, exposure, aesthetics, and my overall spirits at this point in the climb, may make this my favorite pitch of the route. In truth, all the technical climbing after the Black Tower is top quality climbing.

Rock Climbing - Placing a Camming device for protection
Visit our website http://www.glenmorelodge.org.uk or call us on 01479 861256
This film talks through how to place a camming device. It is part of a series of 17 films. We run through walking to the crag, using the guide book, checking weather and locating your climb. Once a climb is chosen looking at leading the climb and belaying your second up.
This is just an overview, so if you want more details about the different stages look at the single pitch leading playlist for wire placement, cam placement, thread placement, torque nut placement, belaying a leader, and 8 different belay set ups for the top of a route:)

Trad Czech climbing. Climbers do not use bolts, hexes, cams, friends and chalk. They are secured only by knots tied on slings and small pieces of rope placed inside cracks. Climber here missed all six bolts on his way up! He placed more than 10 knots as protection.
